About the Threaded Rod, 5/8 in UNC-2A, Length 1200
Catalogue reference rod threaded 5/8in UNC-2A di covers a copper-bonded earth rod of 5/8 in nominal size and 1200 mm driven length. Construction is a low-carbon steel core with a copper bonded outer layer — the Copperbond type — which gives the rod the mechanical strength needed to be driven into ground while presenting a copper surface to the soil. The shank diameter is 14.2 mm and the unit weight is 1.28 kg. The rod is threaded 5/8 in UNC-2A with a thread length (L1) of 30 mm, the standard coupling thread for this size, allowing rods to be joined end to end with a coupling dowel where a single 1200 mm section does not reach the required depth, and allowing a driving stud to be fitted so the thread is not damaged during installation. Thread class 2A is the general-purpose external thread fit, so it mates with standard 2B internal couplings.

Typical applications
Rods of this size and length are installed to form the earth electrode of a building, substation, generator set or lightning protection system, driven vertically into soil and connected to the main earthing terminal by clamp or exothermic joint. The 1200 mm section length is a practical single-driver length that can be coupled to reach lower-resistance soil where a single rod does not achieve the required earth resistance. Copper bonding is specified over solid copper where the electrode must survive driving through firm or stony ground without bending.
